Everton’s Richarlison claims Van Dijk is not one of the world’s best defenders
Everton forward Richarlison has spoken ahead of the Merseyside derby by saying Liverpool player Virgil van Dijk is not among the best three defenders in the world.
Van Dijk has been outstanding since signing for Liverpool from Southampton in a then-world record transfer fee for a defender of £75m in the January window of 2018.

The Netherlands captain has hardly put a foot wrong for the Reds, playing a vital part in their Champions League triumph last campaign and putting them on the brink of the Premier League title this season.
But, Richarlison does not rate the former Celtic defender as the best in his position as they prepare for a battle at Goodison Park on Sunday.
